Sometime last year (when everyone was crying for money) I contacted Orison and Roncesvalles telling them that I would be more than happy to pre-pay for a given reservation for specified dates in May 2021. Granted, I was not outright 'donating' but still.... if you need cash flow "NOW" -well here it is....
The comunication emails from both places were answered in 1-day turnaround and after couple of pertinent rounds of each - the reservations were secured.
Shortly after I posted this-here my post above, I emailed both places with apologies and explanation that due to all this ongoing situation I will not be coming. I DID NOT ask for my money back but rather with most respectful "would you please be so very kind as to consider" asked if we could simply reschedule for the same time next year (adjusting the date accordingly since I want to keep the same day-of-the week schedule - i.e. I will be arriving on Saturday \ Sunday).
Couple of emails and a whole week later - I got no replies . One would think that a month-in-advance notification would be sufficient to make any changes in establishment's calendar. One would also think that some form of reply (even if it is a rejection) would be proper, business-like and a nice thing to do.
I can understand that there are things beyond any ones control, and things do happen, and perhaps people are busy.... but it is now almost a whole week with no reply.....
Very disheartening and it does put a damper on any planning
Sorry, just had to 'get it out there'
